CONWAY — At a heart-wrenching time when we are all feeling revolted by — but helpless to stop — the atrocities being committed by Vladimir Putin and his Russian military in Ukraine these past 17 days, but at least we can all attend the prayer vigil planned in North Conway’s Schouler Park for 1 p.m. Sunday (Remember to turn your clocks forward an hour: Daylight saving time starts at 2 a.m. Sunday).
The vigil probably won’t stop Putin and his horrible actions against the courageous people of Ukraine, but it will send a message of solidarity with the people of the war-ravaged country.
